I also picked up Detective Comics #988 because I always pick up Detective Comics! I started reading it without looking at the credits. The storyline isn't so bad; I'm willing to give it a chance. But O MAN the dialogue is really bad at times! I was rolling my eyes. I was thinking "Man, this is "James Robinson" bad!" And then I remembered that I'd heard that James Robinson was going to be writing a story in Detective Comics. I knew without looking that I was holding it in my hands. (Coincidentally, earlier today I was reading Detective Comics #817, the first part of "Face the Face," and I was thinking "Oh. This is some bad dialogue. Hey! This is the earlier story that "Deface the Face" is presumably building off of! So … yeah, it's James Robinson!") I'll try to be fair and judge the developing story on everything EXCEPT the dialogue. But if it's "Squadron Supreme" bad, I can't promise a thing! |

I don't buy that many comics currently, but it seems like everything came out this week! So I also got Catwoman #3! I wouldn't be buying this if I wasn't enjoying it! The art is great. The story is OK, some political intrigue that I usually don't like in comics unless it's really good! But the first few issues of Rebirth Catwoman is a lot better than the first few issues of New 52 Catwoman! (New 52 Catwoman got better though!) |

Hawkman #4: the mystery deepens as Hawkman comes face to face with another of his past incarnations and is reunited with an old friend. Lots of action—Hitch perfectly captures the dizzying fight through Thanagar as well as their architecture. Venditti is tackling one of DC’s most complicated characters (DC’s own fault) flawlessly. For me, one of the very best books of 2018.
8/10

For me, one of the very best books of 2018. 8/10 I agree and I haven't read Hawkman #4 yet -- planning on reading it in a day or two. Fascinating book and Venditti is doing a great job re-inventing Hawkman. |

Archie 1941 #1: WWII Looms as the gang graduate high school. Archie seems to be the only one aware of the impending horror ahead as his friends and his dad wonder what’s going on with him. I loved the references to Western Auto, Pep, Goldwater, and Kresge’s. I liked the scene at Pop’s where he seems to share Archie’s sense of foreboding. There’s a sense of unease throughout the story and no doubt any young man during that time had to wondering when he’d be called to serve. Waid and Augustyn capture this sense of dread with Archie very well. The art is a bit sketchy but it works. a solid start to a very mature Archie story.
9/10
